What are people running as toe in on the rear of the Canam?

Is it different for the GTR as at least one website mentions 2 mm overall at the rear as the factory recommendation?

My Canam manual reads rear 4mm overall and zero camber. Front 2mm overall and 1-1.5 degree camber.

I'm also interested to know, as I'm just about at the point of doing the alignment process on my CanAM.

That takes away the pleasure of completing the car. Do I take it everyone left it to the factory? Never, some have SVA'ed the cars themselves.

My GTR runs with 2mm of rear toe-in with no camber and the front settings as you list. This is as-per the manual and it seems to behave as it should. I'd suggest you ask the factory. I can't think of a reason why the Can-Am would be any different...

I take it that your 2mm rear toe in 2mm EACH SIDE so that corresponds to my factory manual as 4mm overall toe in at the rear. Or are we looking at a different edition of the manual?

My "manual" reads 4mm overall at the rear and 2mm at the front, perhaps the " the factory" could confirm this?

I'm pretty certain that it is 2 mm of overall toe in not 2mm on each side. Unfortunately I'm at work now and don't have access to my build CD or manual...

Just phoned the factory and the rear toe in for my car with P Zero tyres is 4mm overall.

For those who run Goodyears it is 2mm overall on the rear.

My original manual covered PZero tyres so had the 4mm overall figure.
